The buttons are connected by an elastic shank l1, which may be made of any material suited for the purpose, in this instance ordinary elastic cord, the terminals of which are combined with the buttons by providing the latter with sockets 12, having spurs or prongs 13, that are adapted to be sunk into the material of the shank, and thus hold all the parts positively assembled.

A sleeve-fastener comprising a pair of buttons, sockets provided with spurs or prongs arranged on the inner sides of the buttons, and an elastic shank having its terminals seated within the sockets and held therein by the prongs.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in thepresence of two witnesses.
